Archery Research Bows
Need help with archery/bow information?
I have to do a project for school that has to do with researching the best types of bows. I have to buy a bow, too. So I was wondering if anyone can help me determine which bow would be best since theres too many types of bows to choose from.
Im leaning towards a Compound Bow, but there is also recurve, decurve, reflex, longbows...too many to choose from. So I was wondering if anyone could explain the differences and give examples like the advantages and disadvantages between each. For example: If you sacrifice power for speed and accuracy. Stuff like that.
Well, I was hoping to demonstrate firing a bow...but it was hard enough to request permission to bring a weapon on campus. Imagine how hard it would be to actually fire the thing.
Im just going to bring it in, name the parts, and demonstrate how to draw the string. I was thinking of creating a home made bow, too.
I know Vic Wunderle the Olympic champion has been to several schools doing archery demonstrations. Of course being an Olympic medalist might give him an edge when asking for permits.
What is best, well it depends on the task. If you want to pick a bow today that you can hunt with next week, then you'd better pick a compound. The average beginner archer can pick up a 45lbs compound and within an hour put 6 shots on a paper plate from 30 yards. This ease of use however comes with a price tag. Fully equipped compounds are much more expensive than recurves or longbows. Compounds are more powerful, this is true, but how accurate it is depends on the archer.
If you want to take your time and learn the craft, then I suggest you start with a recurve. It is in general nicer to shoot than longbows. It's more forgiving and smoother. Recurves are also pound for pound more powerful than longbows. It does take a lot more time to learn. But once you've reached the top, they can perform just about the same as a compound. It is a lot more physical, you need more strength to use a recurve than you do with a compound. This is the reason many older recurvers switch over to compound. Good thing about starting with a recurve is, you can switch to a compound and adapt quickly, if you start with sights. The same is not always true the other way around. The reason being, many people who learn to shoot with a compound, doesn't actually learn proper form. You can get away with improper technique with a compound, but you can't do that with a recurve.
Longbows, are the choice of traditionalists. They're beautiful to look at, but performance wise, they're not all that.
